RIVERSIDE – King High School juniors Hannah and Zachary Larsen of Riverside were honored for their service project at the Odyssey of the Mind World Finals Tournament recently at Iowa State University.

The twins competed in Odyssey of the Mind for nine years but did not have a team this year. For a Spirit of Odyssey Angels project, they asked people attending the World Finals to donate postcards so competitors could write inspirational messages to children facing life-threatening illnesses. The brother and sister then collected more than 150 postcards to be sent to children staying at Ronald McDonald Houses while receiving cancer treatment.

Zachary Larsen also videotaped part of the creativity and teamwork competition and interviewed founders Sam Micklus and Sammy Micklus Jr., the current international director for Odyssey of the Mind.
